Chapter 110: Thunder

The game against the Thunder is a big test for George Karl and his players, you must know that the Nuggets' current rotation roster is quite neat, except for Costa Kufos who can't play because of a sprained ankle, everyone else is full of vitality, not at all discouraged by the ghost weather in Denver, Winnie the Pooh's outstanding performance makes Pepsi Center fans seem to have found the legendary true son, and his games at home are generally hot, In addition to the reason why the team has a new leader, the most important thing is the appearance of handsome Chinese guys, you must know that the Nuggets' home team jersey is white, and the graceful young man with a white dress is the Prince Charming in the minds of countless American girls, but in the eyes of the stinky boy, he is more like a swordsman in martial arts novels!

All right! It's a swordsman, not a!

So when Javier McGee was angry that he couldn't be a starter, the game started, and Chris Anderson jumped directly over Perkins as the starting center, in fact, this situation seems to be extremely normal, although Perkins has a big face and a thick neck but has no talent at all in jumping the ball, and can only watch the basketball being taken away by the birdmen.

Because today is the reason for the live broadcast, so the two sides have started to play hotly, the Thunder has always been a strong team in the West, its lineup match is definitely first-class, Russell Westbrook, Saab Sephorosa, Kevin Durant, Ibaka, Perkins five people form the starting lineup, and they also have James Harden and Reggie Jackson on the bench, their scoring ability should not be underestimated.

Bearded and Luo Yun are old acquaintances, and both of them know the details of both sides. And Reggie Jackson also played against Lowin during his time in the NCAA. So it's not new. And Durant and Westbrook naturally needless to say, the only thing that makes the Nuggets feel a headache is Sefrosa's kraft candy, the main scoring means of the big brother Afflaro almost all come from the outside, and because of the arrival of Winnie the Pooh, he can catch the ball on the outside without reckless impact on the inside, of course, his main task is defense, but Sephorosa doesn't need to defend at all, his outside basket is a mess. The mid-range shooting percentage is also inconsistent.

But this guy's attributes are the same as the big brother, as the team's outside defensive leader, his close defense is a bargaining chip with a high salary, and the Thunder's strong firepower makes the Nuggets not need to make a big fuss about defense, because only Westbrook alone can tear their defense apart, so the Denver people can only stage offensive battles with others, and the big brother, who can score an average of 16.1 points per game, has become one of the main forces.

As soon as the Nuggets came up, they launched an attack with the Thunder, to be honest, the highlights of this game are all on Winnie the Pooh and Westbrook, these two players who are both from UCLA will inevitably have to compete with each other, you must know that the current Winnie the Pooh is actually not inferior to the opponent in some aspects, and even better than the opponent in some places. But it was all lost to Westbrook's amazing physical fitness!

In other words, Luo Yun is completely inferior in physical confrontation, and Westbrook's nickname of Iron Man is not for nothing. Looking at his bulging muscles, people will not suspect that this thing is a fake, the super explosive power hidden under the skin is one of the few in the entire NBA, although this guy's performance in the high school league is average, but after entering the NCAA, it has become extremely terrifying, so that this powerful dominance in the NBA is also continuing to improve.

"Bang dang!"

Westbrook went straight to the basket and dunked on the two Nuggets insiders, well, don't be surprised that this is the work of a No. 1 player, because this man is a pervert, one of the league's brightest superstars.

Luo Yun had no way to stop Westbrook's breakthrough, and he could only shake his head helplessly when he saw the opponent's arrogant dunk, while Farid was fouled on his back, and the Denver people got off to a bad start and were directly dismounted by the Thunder.

"I'll admit that Winnie the Pooh has been the talk of the NBA for a while, but today he can finally sober up, he missed Rose against the Bulls, so I can only let the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles teach him a lesson, and I believe that even if Anthony doesn't leave Denver, this game will be extremely difficult!" Ricciardo did not cheer for Winnie the Pooh because of his identity as Lomi, but commented from an objective point of view, and the little guy's recent performance disappointed him, especially the addition of "My Knot", which made him feel more and more that Luo Yun was going astray.

Fortunately, the Nuggets' all-hands soldiers made it impossible for the Thunder to open up the difference in the first time, Winnie the Pooh began to do passing work, and after hitting the basket, a beautiful horizontal pass directly gave the ball to the bottom corner of the three-point corner Afflalo, and then Faried near the free throw line went out to block so that the big brother could shoot calmly, but shooting on the outside at the beginning was undoubtedly looking for death, so the big brother could only use the cover to get into the basket, and in the face of Ibaka, he directly came to remember the small throw!

"Bang!"

As soon as the cap master came up, he gave the senior brother a hot pot, and directly blasted the ball out of the arena and smashed it into the audience.

"Shit, you bastard!" Afflaro completely lost his usual good temper, he originally wanted the little guy to avenge himself, but when he thought that this kid was in the same dire situation as himself, he stopped talking, looking at Ibaka's stinky face, he really wanted to make a slap to let the other party end early, but unfortunately the state has been really bad recently, this idea is directly stopped!

Afflaro began to serve on the sideline, and Winnie the Pooh must be the most haode receiver, but today Luo Yun seems to have lost his former agility, he is blocked everywhere on the offensive end, and even this ordinary catch was almost directly cut off by the big hand behind him, and the feeling of directly facing Westbrook is obviously very unhappy, because this kid goes straight and never drags mud and water.

After Luo Yun received the ball, the two fought outside the three-point line, because there was not much offensive time left, and the little guy decided not to pass the ball anymore, but a disguised body that stuck to Westbrook's body and began to go to the basket to cheat the foul, but today's opponent let Luo Yun know that this is not an easy task, as the best defensive player in the Pac-10 division in college. Westbrook is best at locking up opponents when they have the ball. And he moves sideways quickly when defending. Coupled with the fact that his body is strong enough, every time Luo Yun lands, it is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Winnie the Pooh is not out of the question, as a point guard, he naturally understands that although Westbrook is against the sky, it is not without shortcomings, because this guy's offensive options are terrible, so he can't judge when Luo Yun will shoot, so when Luo Yun turns around, he makes a mistake, and he makes a step-back jumper after turning. Winnie the Pooh shot directly at the commanding heights after the jump, and the basketball instantly turned into a chemical fiber to shoot the basket!

"Huh!"

The white net flies, Luo Yun successfully pulled back a city against Wei Shao, in fact, it is very risky to do so, because Ibaka and Perkins under the basket are good at grabbing rebounds, once the shot does not score, it will inevitably be lost, but Luo Yun naturally has full confidence in doing so, the little guy is currently getting better and better near the three-point line, especially the mid-range shooting has become a big magic weapon for him to cut points, but this way of shooting George Karl does not admire.

However. Without waiting for the Nuggets to narrow the score, the Thunder's counterattack also exploded. In the first quarter, when Westbrook and Winnie the Pooh were in full swing, the scoring champion has been in a quiet state, which seems a bit unusual, after all, Adu is a good boy but does not prove that he will remain silent forever, so when the Nuggets relied on Loyun to link the team into the best scoring mode, Durant finally made a move.

Don't blame Daniro, because this thing is not Durant's opponent at all, it can be said that the two are not on the same level at all, when Adu turns on the scoring mode, all opponents have to retreat, Durant who can average 28.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game is a scoring machine, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and a three-point shot makes Daniro's heart cool and cool, not to mention more energy.

"I swear the Nuggets are going to have a big rout tonight, and who can tell me when that stupid boy McGee is going to play, and is George Karl going to put him on the bench?" Damian looked at the situation on the court and shook his head, the Thunder's advantage on the inside line is already very obvious, Perkins and Ibaka are absolutely powerful, they play a great role on the defensive end, and the Thunder limited the big brother Afraro as soon as they came up, and then let Winnie the Pooh and Westbrook pinch each other, Zuihou let Durant come out and release the cold arrow, this powerful offensive made the Nuggets have no power to parry at all, although the score was not greatly opened under Luo Yun's needle, But in terms of the momentum shown on the court, the Nuggets have always been at a disadvantage, and even have a feeling of being pressed by the Thunder.

Then Winnie the Pooh didn't blindly drill the corner, so people were very disappointed about this, because Luo Yun stopped shooting after that shot, and the Nuggets had to make his own sacrifices, so if you see the Nuggets explode at some point on the court, it must be the result of Luo Yun's assistance.

"Huh!" Farid made a successful foul on Ibaka after receiving a pass from Lowe, and also hit the first free throw, and the first quarter of the game played in the sixth minute, the two sides fought 15-12, and the Thunder led by three points.

Farid missed the second free throw, the basketball jumped out of the frame, Ibaka saw this and took the ball off the birdman's head, and then quickly passed it to Westbrook, so the Thunder duo played an aerial relay, and Durant scored two points again with both hands.

But just when the Nuggets were about to be beaten to death by the Thunder in the first quarter, the long-dormant Pepsi Center finally ushered in the cheers of the fans, in the eyes of countless people, McGee's children took off their vests and began to run happily to the court, and then threw a wink at Luo Yun in the shock of countless women, this guy used such an ambiguous attitude to tell the fans that he now has a good relationship with Winnie the Pooh, if you can, you might as well look forward to his debut at the Nuggets.

At the same time, after the Nuggets replaced McGee, the Thunder also replaced Nick Collison on the court, and Westbrook and Durant remained on the court, so they are not ready to play Harden at this time, and one Reggie Jackson is completely enough.

In fact, playing so far, the Thunder's tactical intention is very simple, their method is mainly to break through, for example, in the positional battle to use Westbrook's speed to tear apart the Nuggets defense, if successful, that is, to break through and score, if not successful, that is, to divide the outside line, Durant depends on the situation to see if Zuihou continues to break through or shoot directly.

But it's not just these first-class teams that are really scary, just like the Heat. The Thunder's defensive counter-attack was very quick. On the defensive end, they will take full advantage of Perkins' flesh shield effect on the inside. Ibaka's super bounce, Durant's height and long arms, Westbrook's desire to brush rebounds, Zuihou grabbed the rebound and relied on his super athletic talent to rush to the frontcourt, if the fast break can't succeed, then still play according to the positional battle, so that the action must be based on strong athletic talent, and the Oklahoma City Thunder is undoubtedly one of the best!

And the first quarter of the game between the Thunder and the Nuggets simply became a stage for the Thunder to perform. Although the performance of the Denver people is also remarkable, but in front of the real superstar, they are still a little bit worse, McGee's appearance did not make the team's defense better, after all, this guy is not a savior, it is impossible to change the fate of the team as soon as he comes up, and this kid has repeatedly staged a good show of iron in Luo Yun's feeding, as if the basket in the Pepsi Center can attract his hatred, what hooks, throws and layups are all available, but he doesn't get a point!

At this time, George Carr's face also looked a little ugly, and McGee did not have much time to practice with the team. And there's no way this guy can use it like he does with Nene and watch McGee go against Nick Collison on the court. The old man suddenly wondered, did this guy listen to what he said just now, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be this way of playing!

In fact, in George Carr's lineup, McGee will not appear in the starter, even if he can average 10 points and 8 boards per game, after Nene leaves, the old man's starting center should be the blue-collar Koufors who sprained his ankle, and then McGee, the role of the Birdman on the court is more to make the team passionate, like a catalyst, but the actual effect is not very big.

Of course, some people will definitely ask McGee why he can't play a little longer since he has the ability to play two pairs, in fact, there are two reasons for this, one is that this kid has not adapted to it now, and the other is to improve the strength of the bench, after all, Winnie the Pooh cannot play full games, and the bench relies more on the rapid advancement of Miller to make the offense not interrupted, and it is undoubtedly a very good thing to join McGee at this time, rebounding, blocking, and dunking are all excellent, but this is the first time they have come up with such a lineup, and the opponent is still the Thunder, So it's a bit embarrassing.

At the beginning of the second quarter, George Karl decided to let the second echelon go up and play for a few minutes to see how it went, Andre Miller, Jordan Hamilton, Corey Brewer, Al Harrington plus Javier McGee, but in Luo Yun's eyes, George Karl did this for another reason, if it was him at this moment, McGee would also be put on the second team, because this guy's rebounding strength is good, although he was called interior poison in the Wizards before, but the talent is absolutely one top one, If he and Farid are put on the court at the same time, the effect is actually not separated, in front of Farid, the rebounding monster, McGee's role will be infinitely diluted, and the half-orc will not be able to exert all his strength, so it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Sure enough, in the second quarter of the game, the Nuggets' bench performance made people shine, McGee, who has been immersed in the losing culture for a long time, obviously has a determination to win, and the positive running makes people see a new way of playing, especially Harrington's fire support on the outside line makes the Thunder's defense begin to stretch out, but Harden's performance is also amazing, as the sixth man, he is fully qualified to start, and the bearded three-point shot is a big killer, which Luo Yun and his teammates are very clear, Fortunately, Hamilton also felt good today, hitting two three-pointers in a row from a 45-degree angle, and Scott Brooks was so angry that he directly asked for a timeout.

George Karl stood on the sidelines and began to spray at a group of players, the old man was obviously much harsher towards the team after the trade deadline, in his opinion, this shrinking season is a good opportunity for the Nuggets, you must know that those old pimples in the league are tired enough, and curse David Stern's little cock every day, but this group of lads is different, they have enough energy to deal with this somewhat special season, Lao Tzu is not tired as a coach, let alone others.

After the timeout, Winnie the Pooh returned to the court, while McGee remained on the court, and the old man wanted to see if the two could have chemistry, after all, McGee's arrival made many people look forward to his cooperation with Winnie the Pooh, and there was indeed such a set of tactics in the old man's lineup.

Luo Yun faced Reggie Jackson, this kid was repaired by the little guy when he was in the NCAA, so it is even more obvious now, in the exclamation of the fans in the audience, Winnie the Pooh once again passed the opponent with an extremely sassy move, and Westbrook glanced at his mouth after seeing this scene, damn, who called him ugly.

Luo Yun decisively hit the basket, Harrington immediately pulled outside the three-point line after making a wall for him, so angry that Ryan Red could only turn into a tail uncle, after all, Winnie the Pooh was present This guy is very likely to turn into a cannon messenger, but just when he turned around, there was a huge roar behind him, Winnie the Pooh hit the basket and sent the ball directly into the air with a high throw, and Javier McGee on the side rushed out at the first time, before everyone had time to react, dunk the ball into the basket.

"Bang dang!"

JaVale McGee smashed the basket with one hand and directly knocked Nick Collison off the horse. (To be continued......)
